Oblivious sheep filing to the slaughterhouse Aimless souls forever waiting to be saved On bended knees, crawl into the warmth of light Beneath all dignity by choice, deprived of liberty Dying embers, fire ceasing to burn Will sows discord, it’s feast or famine for all time Survival sickness, secret lore We have sworn to obey Behold the full scope of mystification We can’t be rescued, succumb to temptation Repent from sin, cleansed from the guilt The time is come now to lift the veil of secrecy Dying embers, fire ceasing to burn Will sows discord, it’s feast or famine for all time Memento mori, misdirected We have sworn to obey Pull us out, unbind us from fear Tear us up, we can no longer live up to this In the wake of damnation, we’ll bury the fate Be deceived once again, for as long as we pray we shall perish Oblivious sheep filing to the slaughterhouse Aimless souls forever waiting to be saved On bended knees, crawl into the warmth of light Beneath all dignity by choice, deprived of liberty Survival sickness, secret lore We have sworn to obey Obey

Sighting in red, blood will flow incessantly Mass entertainment, spectacle of suffering Hail to cruelty, forever burdened with the guilt In their dying hour, hear their splitting screams Feeding frenzy, time won’t fill the emptiness Left behind by all the souls departed By the numbers, breaking under torture Agony of mind, horror will reign through the centuries Acts of the unnamable Cutting off their tongues Every nightmare brought to life Hanging on the cross Sighting in red, blood will flow incessantly Mass entertainment, spectacle of suffering Hail to cruelty, forever burdened with the guilt In their dying hour, hear their splitting screams Those in hope of salvation Will be throwing the first stone Cleanse the soul, be free from sin Seeking comfort in another’s misery Thrown to the lions Carrion-feeding rush, in delirium Thrown to the lions Slaughter with no end, in delirium As delusion is brief Their barbaric remorse can’t remain Falling prey to temptations In a time when sadists lead the meek to the graves Thrown to the lions Thrown to the lions, but why? Feeding frenzy, time won’t fill the emptiness Left behind by all the souls departed By the numbers, breaking under torture Agony of mind, horror will reign through the centuries Acts of the unnamable, cutting off their tongues Every nightmare brought to life, hanging on the cross Thrown to the lions Thrown to the lions to die!

Amazing force majeure This inner mass absorption Unable to escape from the cycle of bereavement We fail to see, it’s fantasy Moral fraud for eternity Static electricity What once was dying now recharges in me And it feels like acid rain Breaking out, storm within Fully covered in black Respecting the unreal Approaching thunder in our hearts Showing no fear Completely overcast Suddenly the sky seems near Catastrophic premonitions Now the tide is drawing in We tried to be, to remedy Internal vow of humility Emotive authenticity Once concealed, now running free The time has come for me Saved from drowning, storm within Perfect storm within Perfect storm within And it feels like acid rain Breaking out, storm within The time has come for me Saved from drowning, storm within Fully covered in black Respecting the unreal Approaching thunder in our hearts Showing no fear! Raging elements, sight to behold Perfect storm within Raging elements, sight to behold Perfect storm within Raging elements, sight to behold Perfect storm within Raging elements, sight to behold Perfect storm within

Hallow blindness to see In this waning hour The sun sets down upon us Reviving the pain Causing madness, rays of light Glitter brightly in the eyes of deception Onset vertigo, taking over A tight feeling of oppression and fear in our chests Oh what a welcome relief! Staring blank, scenery of the end Overreaction’s distress Gives way to amusement as we deeply kneel Survival of the fittest, gleaming like silver Re-entering the black, concealed in the dead night Will we outlive this relentless destruction? Oh what a sight to behold! Brilliant reflections, spectacle of doom Deceived time after time Yet never prepared to strike camp The end of all days, gleaming like silver Bleed from within, burn up inside How will we breathe in this vacuum of existence? Hallow blindness to see In this waning hour The sun sets down upon us Reviving the pain Causing madness, rays of light Glitter brightly in the eyes of deception Onset vertigo, taking over A tight feeling of oppression and fear in our chests Survival of the fittest, gleaming like silver Re-entering the black, concealed in the dead night Will we outlive this relentless destruction? Will we outlive this relentless destruction?

I’ve got to pick up the pieces by myself to reconcile Inner peace to seek, in my final hours In declination I’ve built these towering walls around me It’s too late now, no turning back from the course that’s been set My life is falling apart And I tried, I fought with fortitude The time has come to break free All by my own hand I can’t decide, what’s really right and what is wrong Can’t see clearly, distracted by affliction Seeking shelter behind a shield of eternal rest Never again, no rules to follow, this is about free will My life is falling apart And I tried, I fought with fortitude The time has come to break free All by my own hand Nothing in my way Reaching for higher ground Oblivion of being There’s a time for everyone I’m gone too far, beyond redemption And all is well that ends well I’ve got to pick up the pieces by myself to reconcile Inner peace to seek, in my final hours In declination I’ve built these towering walls around me It’s too late now, no turning back from the course that’s been set Nothing in my way Reaching for higher ground Oblivion of being There’s a time for everyone All by my own hand

We cannot see through, senses have failed Between brief moments of light, we are fully lost Forsaken quest, no destination Shadows consume our sight, how shall we persevere? A lure that mirrors our mortal dismay Promised atonement, an ending in ashes? Left empty-handed, malicious deceit One final stare into the face of adversity The fall of man Compelled Forsaken profession of faith Dividing light away from the darkness Sanctimonious, venture of decay Unforgiven in sickening open Into the end, forwards maze of misery Inhuman burden, endure everlasting pain Procrastinating, journey into wastelands Disincarnated, void of all feeling Rapid decline, downwards maelstrom of despair How inspiring is self-righteousness? When we don’t even live under the same sun Cursing prayers, renouncing belief We won’t die in the name of the same truth Behold the eternal descent The fall of man We cannot see through, senses have failed Between brief moments of light, we are fully lost Forsaken quest, no destination Shadows consume our sight, how shall we persevere? The fall of man Compelled Forsaken profession Forsaken profession of faith

Invoking rites, quest for endlessness Salvation’s promise, the absence of certainty Hollow ceremony, unsacred life estate Reflect dead splendor, shine a light on mortality Adopted creed on fire Fatality in worldly innocence Protected sanctity’s remuneration Clandestine, come to senses, avert calamity Destined to collapse Existential fears All things must pass Departing soul False perceptions changing In defiance of confidence The attitude to life gone astray Common sense will guide to spiritual liberty Destined to collapse Feeble-minded All things must pass Into non-existence Accepting fate with modesty Global sentence to death in absentia Living lie, foolish paradise The word made flesh Destined to collapse Not to prevail Invoking rites, quest for endlessness Salvation’s promise, the absence of certainty Hollow ceremony, unsacred life estate Reflect dead splendor, shine a light on mortality Accepting fate with modesty Global sentence to death in absentia Living lie, foolish paradise The word made flesh Destined to collapse Not to prevail

Crying out, time has come for ritual celebration Lost cause for rejoicing in life Chants and prayers for the damned You have lied, you have sinned Never stood by your convictions Lost your way, no orientation Pay for your malicious mistakes Over and over, well-trodden path On the brink of ruin for all to see Time after time, journey into the light You refuse to come clear This is a final procession Flocked together like a horde of sheep Identity in corporate belief Vanity, paleness of retribution’s delight Compelled to follow, play along, forced to obey You cannot judge, you cannot reason You have never learnt to disagree Forever renouncing rationality Bring forth the burden of sin Sign of these times, ambivalence Delusion is short, remorse is long You renounce responsibility You arouse indignation And this is a final procession On tragedy they all shall feed This is a final procession On tragedy they all shall feed This is a final procession On tragedy they all shall feed Over and over, well-trodden path On the brink of ruin for all to see Time after time, journey into the light You refuse to come clear This is a final procession On tragedy they all shall feed And this is a final procession Tragedy to feed

Mass-produced anguish, collective guilt Closely watched within four walls, you’re trapped in a web Affected ignorance, you won’t capture the essence Of what’s to come, proven elusive, no evidence The herd will follow While you carry the torch Wrongful accusation, named and shamed, absurd Born of fraud, deceptive creation, foul trickery Speechless with grief, most insignificant All at once forsaken with a cry of dismay The tension’s rising Blessing or curse Perpetuated The herd will follow While you carry the fucking torch Mass-produced, social demolition Ignorance, not bliss in a world of lies Mass-produced, public execution Ignorance is all perpetuated by belief All you want is to feel In full possession of the real Perpetuated, world of lies Perpetuated, world of lies You just keep moving on You just keep living on Preparing for extinction Rejoicing over extinction Mass-produced anguish, collective guilt Closely watched within four walls, you’re trapped in a web Perpetuated The herd will follow Perpetuated While you carry the fucking torch

Bid the great disorder farewell With no hope for better days Leave behind the custody Break free from the shackles of life Regain mental autonomy Liberated and so relieved Alter the future Man forges his own destiny In dying mode Comprehension pulled to pieces Confidence ripped to shreds Glimmer of survival Once alight, now rather bleak Longing for solitude Crystallize in the mind’s eye Unchained at last Self-fulfilling prophecy Calamity – Everyone will see Debauchery – In dying mode... Surrender unconditionally Getting ready to be in dying mode... In dying mode Salvation of the soul Bid the great disorder farewell With no hope for better days Leave behind the custody Break free from the shackles of life Regain mental autonomy Liberated and so relieved Alter the future Man forges his own destiny In death prepared to conceive Forever struggling to be free Endure a painful exile Endless dead certainty In dying mode In dying mode Salvation of the soul Comprehension pulled to pieces Confidence ripped to shreds Glimmer of survival Once alight, now rather bleak Longing for solitude Crystallize in the mind’s eye Unchained at last Self-fulfilling prophecy In death prepared to conceive Forever struggling to be free Endure a painful exile Endless dead certainty In dying mode

You choose a path Close to collapse Stretched to the limit Falling apart The light turns back Where you choose to pass Finally into oblivion Steady decline A quirk of fate Can't stop this wait But it took A quirk of fate To ignite the spark Innocence and youth Youth and innocence Takes so little To tear it apart Tear it apart Steady decline Witness to the crime
